Missing In Action II

One day, when Joanne and Josyne are going home from school, they pass through a park. Suddenly, Joanne sees a small green creature crawling into the bush. Joanne immediately follows the creature.

"You go home first," says Joanne to Josyne, before she disappears into the jungle.

The small green creature keeps crawling deep into the jungle, until it finally goes into a spaceship.

While Joanne is thinking whether she should turn back, suddenly there is green light beaming on her. The light is so strong that she has to close her eyes.

A moment later, the light is gone. Joanne opens her eyes and finds that she is inside the spaceship. There are a few small green creatures sitting on chairs.

"Welcome to our spaceship," the sound comes from one of the creatures.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" asks Joanne.

"We are from far far away, we come here to study human's hair."

"Hair? What is about the hair?" asks Joanne.

"We found that human has lost the most important function of hair. What is the hair for?"

"My teacher says it is to protect the head," says Joanne.

"It is not the main function. Human can live well with or without the hair," says the green creature. "The hair used to use as antenna, to communicate without language. But somehow it has lost the function."

"How long have you been here?" Joanne does not really believe in antenna thing.

"Few days, well, your time should be few years."

Joanne does not understand why few days and few years.

"Let us show you something," they beam some light on Joanne's hair. Suddenly, Joanne can 'see' that her parents, Josyne and Jayden are worried for her, keep looking for her.

"Wow, that is suppose to be the main function of hair?" asks Joanne.

"Yes, you need to leave now."

"Wait..."

Another light beams on Joanne, when she opens her eyes, she is in the park again.

Joanne looks at her watch, she has been away for ten minutes. She quickly goes home.

Her parents are so surprised and happy to see her. "Where have you been? You have been away for ten days!"

"Ten days? I thought just ten minutes."

Anyhow, great to be back!
